    Diesel Exhaust Fluid

    as the old saying goes, 'you can't fix stupid'. If a driver doesn't know the difference between DEF and Diesel he shouldn't have the keys to the truck...

    1984 Mercedes 190D.. Parts? Cost to own? Anyone have experience with?

    my bad, I meant to say body parts from the 190E are the same, plentiful, and cheap.

    1984 Mercedes 190D.. Parts? Cost to own? Anyone have experience with?

    Any body parts from the 230E are the same. There are lots of those around for parts. The one you're looking at is a 5 speed. I've had lots of old Benz's and if I had to pick a common weak point it is the automatic transmission. Yes the 2.5 will have more power, but for a grand and great fuel...

    SD 300 MB

    IIRC correctly, I've had 4 MB diesel drivers, all but one turbo's, and countless parts cars. (3 gassers in the mix too). Currently we have an '84 300SD. The interior is 3 different colors, but all leather and clean. It's my wife's daily driver, about 400K kms on it. It originated in Texas...

    IIRC, no. I think that one problem is that the holes/head bolts are different diameters.

    CL finds in BC

    Hey Dave, 'just feel like something different, that I don't have to work on (much). I sold my '88 a couple months ago. I need something more 'family friendly'. I love the old IDI's, but have little 'tinker time' or inclination these days. (that said, I still scan the for sale ads - so who knows..)

    Hi, where are you located ? If it doesn't sell and you part it out I may be interested in the trans and some other bits.

    If you were closer I would buy the E4OD.

    Heater fan and dash lights quit on 126

    Thanks for the post. I found the MBworld site and posted there as well, after doing a lot of searching through old posts. Newer 126s (and other MBs) have an inline fuse that can be the culprit. I found something similar on the Left front fender near the front, in some kind of module. The...

    Heater fan and dash lights quit on 126

    Hi, I just got my wife's '84 300SD out of winter storage (it was sitting next to my workshop). It fired right up, there was a lot of condensation under the hood. All the accessories were working, and I left it running with the heater on while my wife hosed off the winter collection of tree...

    3G in 94 F-250 or 93 F350?

    ? what if you substituted a 'straight' top mounting bracket, instead of the factory curved one ?

    Early 90's Turbo

    I could be wrong, but to me that looks like a factory Ford ATS - 1993-1994. In this pic the downpipe looks squished, and the intake hat looks familiar. If any good at all, $100 is nothing. You then have to factor in the cost / time of obtaining missing pieces to make it complete. A complete kit...

    3G in 94 F-250 or 93 F350?

    Hey all, I'm looking at a 3G conversion for my truck. I found someone parting out an F250 94 diesel. Does this truck have the 3G ? I also found a '93 F350 diesel being parted out, would it have the 3G ? Thanks

    83 F250 6.9l IDI

    $500 for a running 4WD diesel truck seems fair to me. I know of one rusty one here that sold this weekend for that much, and a 2wd asking the same price.

    battery light (idiot light) started staying on ??

    Yesterday my battery light started coming on again. The alternator I changed in was from a parts truck, and untested. I had my old one bench tested at Canadian Tire - it was on it's way out. I bought a testing meter - I'm getting just over 14 volts lights off, just over 13.5 volts lights on ?? I...
